Click on the "Discussion" tab to begin. Your subject line should be a "tag" for the book and the job you did. For example, if I was posting a summary from "Island of the Blue Dolphins", my subject line would read: IBD - summarizer.

If you are commenting on a student's post, keep your comments to what the student did well and what they could improve on, based on the CONTENT of what they wrote. You may also reply to their posts if you have something to add. Remember, this is a tool for learning and sharing. Be kind.

Title your post - use the job and chapters of what you read.

i.e. to post a summary of chapters 3-5 in the "Great Horn Spoon": GHS Summarizer ch.3-5
